Univ. to allow sale of alcohol - Administrators promote use of outside vendors
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- The Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on plans to allow student events with alcohol through outside vendors.
- The News-Letter reported that regular alcohol sales in Levering Lounge remained unlikely, while administrators planned to encourage third-party vendors for campus events the following year.
- The paper reported that the University and Student Council planned a September trial event; the article adds that only this event had been authorized, with similar events possible if it went well.
- According to the article, student groups could already host events with alcohol through a third-party vendor, so the change would increase University cooperation rather than create a new policy.
- The reporter writes that Student Council Executive President Atin Agarwal sought a new liquor license, but Dean Susan Boswell told him that parts of his plan were not feasible.
- The article says Levering Lounge and the Great Hall would open at the same time for the trial, while Boswell said alcohol service would include oversight to prevent underage drinking.
